✨True freedom is completely embracing fear.
🛤️Confronting fear is a hero's journey.

• Shallow work builds nothing (except anxiety)
Prioritize Deep Work. Every Day.

Or perhaps that there is a massive audience of people that are nauseated by mainstream media and their outright assault on any form of intellect that is not in concert with their world view.
IMO being a Solopreneur is about Independence.
When presented with an opportunity I ask:
➀ Does it help me achieve financial independence?
➁ Does it further my purpose for being here?
If the answer to both questions is not Yes, then it is No!

Two things strike me 1) I would be shocked if she would say this if you didn't cut against the grain & parroted the mainstream/mob narrative. 2) It takes tremendous courage to do what you do in the face of almost inconceivable blind hatred. Keep up the good work and stay strong.
Self talk is inevitable. You can either make it an asset or a liability.
‣ Keep it positive at all costs
‣ Remove negative people from your life
‣ Keep the mind clear of distraction & noise
‣ Above all, treat yourself with love & kindness

It never ceases to amaze me how much wisdom children have.
Today's lesson from my 19 month old daughter:
🟊 Approach life with a sense of curiosity.
🟊 Always keep an open mind.
🟊 Explore relentlessly.
🎯Accomplishment is capable of immediately turning a bad day around.
📈The more we do, the more momentum it gains.
➡️The hardest part is getting started.
⛔️If Accomplishment is a super power, distraction is kryptonite.
🔌Unplug.
⚡️Move. Do Something. Accomplish.
There are 3 types of people.
➀ Those who avoid struggle
➁ Those who accept struggle
➂ Those who truly love the struggle
Don't just accept the struggle. Fall in love with it!
Fitness is far more than exercise.
• Deadlifting helps you pick up your kids
• Pressing allows you to put your bag overhead
• Lunges help you take the stairs
• Jumping & running keep you playing
• Squats help you get off the toilet
• All prevent you from falling
Writing is a Universal Life Skill.
Just as your body needs exercise, your mental health, focus, creativity, purpose, solopreneur journey, and financial independence depend on writing.

Day 6 of
#ship30for30
I've tried a hell of a lot of things over the years. These are the surviving elements of my Morning Routing that I do not compromise.
My Favorite Journal Prompts:
Gratitude: When I am feeling off, I express Gratitude.
• Instantly improves mood
• Brings what truly matters into focus
• Makes me less of an a**hole
Ownership: Whenever I feel conflict, I take Ownership.
• Increases empathy
• Reduces judgement
If you want to grow as a writer, let rejection be your mentor.
Rejection = Redirection
Every no is a step closer to your unique voice.
Embrace it. Adapt. Thrive.
If you lack Purpose do 2 things:
1. Write
• Journal every day
• Solve problems
• Figure out your interests
• Writing is the ultimate universal skill
• Writing is the path to financial independence

Morning Writing Routine (after meditating):
1. Express Gratitude.
2. Take Ownership.
3. Radical Acceptance practice.
4. Open writing session for as long as needed.

Life is a series of experiments.
Some succeed, some fail, but every single one teaches an invaluable lesson.
▹ Always be ready to pivot.
▹ Seek out the lesson in everything
▹ Adapt swiftly
▹ Upgrade continually
Keep iterating towards success.
You must first love yourself . . . & you are the hardest person to love.
Accepting yourself & all your faults is difficult enough.
Truly loving yourself is far more difficult.
It is perhaps the greatest challenge in life.
How I got here this morning ⤵️
We are often our own best teacher.
What we say & do offers invaluable insight.
The trouble is we exist in our own blind spot.
It's easy to observe others saying & doing things that we judge.
Growth come from the capacity to see ourselves honestly.
The potential is limitless.
Growing in public is the ultimate accountability hack.
• Gets you real-time feedback
• Builds a community around you
• Turns failures into shared learning moments
• Keeps you motivated when progress is slow
The journey becomes the destination.
🖊️There is nothing like writing in the morning when the mind is clear.
🏞️The restorative powers of nature are amazing.
💥Writing in the morning in nature is a pure magic.
